Eva & Joy Green

Eva Green and her fraternal sister Joy (on the left) are completely different. “Joy and I are very contrasting characters,” says Eva. “She never wanted to act, which was quite good because it would have been very competitive between us. We fought and were quite nasty to one another, but now we get on really well. She keeps all the clippings about me.” Joy now rears horses in the Normandy countryside with her husband.
